Absolutely beautiful how did I ever miss this thread?
where did you source the gauges from ?
Did you have the engine built locally if so where did you get it from and what size did you go with?
Do you ind if I repost some of your pics on my facebook page?
|
Thank you., which gauges were you referring to? the autometers? they came from rocket industries
The engine is what was in the car when i got it , just checked over so its still a 1600tp, i may build a engine with more oomph later on.. my choice
will probably be Rod Penrose
sure you can ad a few pics to your page 
I will make it to Harrys this friday!, will not know anyone so ill look out for the orange bug

no need to convince the wife anymore, shes happy with my hobby
her first words after her first drive in the car were "This is soo cool" Got her hook line and sinker 
on the gas strut, i just got one from a local toolbox shop, it is branded Arrowhead Getdowns and it measures 510mm open and 250mm closed hope this
helps.

Great job you've done there Rick... Threads like this helps keep me going with my T34 project.... But I have one concern with what have seen on your
car.... The stock lug bolts are not usually long enough when used with alloy wheels... Have you checked to be certain you are getting sufficient
thread into the hubs?
